All Chapters of Dangerous Desire: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Safehouse — Minutes After Kass’s BroadcastThe air inside the outpost turned ice-cold.Rhea slammed her devices shut and bolted to the ladder leading to the hatch.“Everyone UP. NOW. They’re close — too close.”Elias lifted Lena gently from the bunk.Her body was warm but limp, her eyes calm but empty.“Lena,” he whispered, brushing hair from her face,“stay with me. Don’t drift.”“I’m awake,” she said softly. No emotion.Just observation.Elias’s heart twisted.Alexander moved to help —but the prototype growled and stepped between him and Lena again, fur bristling.Alexander froze, jaw tightening.“I’m not going to hurt her.”The prototype’s eyes glowed faintly gold, matching the unstable flicker in Alexander’s chest.Rhea snapped:“It’s responding to your destabilization. Don’t go near her unless you want it to rip your throat out.”Alexander turned away sharply.“Fine.”He grabbed his weapon and headed for the hatch.The metal overhead suddenly groaned.Then —BANG.Dust rained fr

Tunnel Network — Minutes LaterThe tunnels twisted beneath the mountain like a maze carved by panic.Cold air bit at their skin.Rusted pipes groaned overhead.Water dripped rhythmically from cracked ceilings.Every sound echoed through the darkness.Elias stayed in the lead, Lena in his arms again when her steps became unsteady.The prototype padded silently beside them, always within reach of her.Alexander followed at the rear, every few steps stopping to press a hand to the tunnel wall — listening for vibrations, tracking Helion movement behind them.His glow flickered in the dim light, unstable.Rhea scanned ahead, muttering curse after curse.“They’re spreading through the tunnels faster than expected. They’re herding us.”“Herding us where?” Elias snapped.“To the deeper chambers,” Rhea answered.“Where there’s no escape.”Alexander’s jaw tightened.“Then we make one.”Lena’s calm voice floated softly from Elias’s arms.“They want me alive. They want all of you dead.”Alexander

Central Chamber — Under SiegeThe chamber erupted into chaos the moment the Helion Units stormed in.Metal footsteps thundered against the floor.White visors glowed with predatory precision.Sparks burst from old machinery as gunfire lit the shadows.Elias shoved Lena behind the fallen reactor pillar.“Stay down!”The prototype leapt in front of her, snarling, its golden-tinted eyes locked on the advancing Helions.Alexander jumped straight into the center of the storm.“GET AWAY FROM HER!”His glow exploded like a sunburst.Gold streaked through the chamber as he slammed into the nearest Helion with enough force to shatter its chest plate.Sparks rained down.Another Helion lunged at him from the side—Elias intercepted, his blade slicing through circuitry.The chamber filled with the clang of metal and crackling energy.Rhea fired from the upper catwalk, yelling:“DON’T LET THEM NEAR LENA! They have override injectors!”Alexander roared:“LIKE HELL THEY WILL!”He obliterated anothe

Outside Kass’s Facility — Seconds Before the AssaultSnow whipped through the air, swirling around the two men standing before the steel monolith buried deep in the mountain.Elias gripped his weapon so tightly his knuckles whitened.His amber glow pulsed like a heartbeat — sharp, focused, ready to kill.Alexander stood beside him, trembling with power he could barely contain.Golden sparks crawled beneath his skin, growing brighter with every second.He heard her.Lena.He heard her scream.And it locked something in him into place.No more waiting.No more running.No more fear.Elias inhaled sharply.“You ready?”Alexander didn’t look at him — only at the doors.“She’s in pain. That’s all I need.”Elias nodded once.“On your mark.”Alexander’s eyes burned wildfire gold.“My mark is NOW.”He surged forward——and the mountain exploded.Inside the Facility — Alarms BlareKass’s laboratory filled with a shrill siren.Red lights flashed across the walls.The medic beside Lena jumped.“W

The Laboratory — Seconds After Lena CollapsesLena hit the floor like a doll with its strings cut.Elias dropped beside her instantly, hands shaking as he lifted her head.“Lena—Lena—look at me. Please.”No response.Her pulse was faint.Her skin cold.Her eyes half-open, unfocused.Alexander’s chest heaved with terror.“NO. NO, NO—LENA—!”His glow erupted in violent bursts, gold spiraling around him like cracks in reality.Kass watched with hungry fascination.“Beautiful,” she murmured.“A stabilizer collapse perfectly linked to an Omega implosion. This is exactly what I wanted to see.”Alexander turned toward her—and the look in his eyes wasn’t just rage.It was murder.He took one step toward Kass—The clone intercepted, slamming Alexander into the wall.Alexander roared:“GET—OFF—ME—!!”Elias pressed his ear to Lena’s chest.Her heartbeat faltered.Then skipped.Then—Stopped.Elias froze.His world went silent.Completely silent.He whispered:“…No. No. No—Lena—no—no—please—”Al
